74847, Car acting fucked up need help
Posted by eclipseman1999, May-20-04 02:11 PM
The first day I had the turbo kit on the car would keep jerking real hard when driving the air/fuel on my gauge would go lean and at the stop lights it wanted to die. Later I looked and the egr selenoid fell of so I put it on and it ran fine for 5 days. Today it is doing the same thing but even worse. I checked all my lines and the selenoid and everything looks to be fine. What could be causing this. I also have a sfmu with my hrc kit.

Sell it and buy the turbo imo. :shrug

Do0d. I really don't know all that much about the anal intricacies of kitted 2GNTs. If I knew the answer, you know I would tell you bro. Maybe it's something to do with your missing link? I mean, if the car runs fine in boost, why wouldn't it in vac? Strange.

It doing this all the time, sometimes? Are there times it runs fine?

We need more details to help you. The blinky light goes lean. What else? What other helpful gauges do you have? Any other signs or symptopms are helpful.

If you have any info on your fuel pressures with the SFMU that will help too. I have never used an SFMU and I have the star kit so I'm prolly not the best source for an answer, but it sounds to me like your fuel curve is the issue here.

My egts are fine when im driving and it just started acting up yesterday and it did it all day when ever I drove it. The air/fuel gauge is the only one that was different when my car was acting up and even in boost it would go stoich or lean when before it would be in the rich area.The missing link is fine and I have messed with the sfmu since the turbo install and my idle fuel pressure was at 45.
